The concrete stands on both sides of the football field have been torn down to make way for renovations that will be completed in time for the 2015 season. In the meantime, temporary bleachers will be put in place prior to the Colts' Aug. 22 opener against visiting Pearl-Cohn.

"We'll have new visiting seats, new home seats, a new concession stand, new bathrooms, a scoreboard that's not broken," fourth-year coach Brandon Easley said. "It'll be something where these boys can be proud to have the facilities they'll have.

"For years and years, they've been patching up the concrete. Now, the concrete is gone."

On the field, Easley and his son – junior quarterback Malcolm Easley – look to improve a team that has posted just three wins over the last two seasons. Glencliff defeated Hillwood 13-9 in the final game last year for its only victory, following a 2-8 finish in 2012 and a 6-5 campaign in 2011.

"We're excited," the younger Easley said. "A lot of people say they don't come to the games because of the stadium, so this helps. I think it represents a new Glencliff."
